Hurricane Katrina reshaped the way hospitals prepare for emergencies. Nearly two decades later, the lessons learned continue to guide us. From stronger evacuation plans and storm-hardened facilities to expanded communication systems and disaster response training, Louisiana’s hospitals are more prepared than ever to protect patients and support communities when crises arise. The legacy of Katrina is not only one of loss, but of resilience and progress.

On this anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, we pause to honor the incredible resilience of Louisiana’s hospitals, healthcare workers, and first responders. In the face of unimaginable loss, they showed courage, compassion, and strength that carried our communities through the darkest of days. We are forever grateful to those who answered the call and continue to serve with dedication. Today, we remember, we honor, and we thank you.

In November 2017, New Orleans East Hospital opened the Rhesa & Alden J. McDonald Jr. and Sue Ellen & Joseph C. Canizaro Diabetes Center, the first in Louisiana to affiliate with the National Diabetes and Obesity Research Institute (NDORI) and the Cleveland Clinic’s Endocrinology and Metabolism Institute. This milestone represents another step in the right direction for the health of our community since Hurricane Katrina.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to 4 South's Kristy Cobb, RN, on being our most recent recipient of the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses.
Kristy was nominated by the family of a special needs patient, who wrote "at one point, (patient) required a new IV. Kristy took a careful and compassionate approach to find the best and most effective vein to start the new IV. No rush, just the best and easiest for (patient) ... over the years we have often encountered medical professionals who were abrupt, condescending and dismissive to our needs and our concerns. Our experience ... was gratefully just the opposite. Kristy, Thank you!"
Congratulations, Kristy, and thank you for providing Excellence, Every Day, Every Time.

Every vital sign matters for fragile newborns and recovering mothers. State Senator Brach Myers (R-Lafayette) is leading the way in protecting Louisiana families by expanding remote patient monitoring. Real-time monitoring means doctors can catch warning signs early, preventing ER visits, reducing risks, and, most importantly, saving lives. Thanks to his work, more Louisiana families will have access to the care and peace of mind they deserve. Watch to learn how these new laws are building a healthier Louisiana.
